The Most Fuel for Your Money
As the article explains, with the gas prices on the rise, there are some things that you can do to make your car more fuel efficient. One way you can do this is by regularly maintaining the air pressure in your tires. If you do this, you will be able “get the best wear, fuel economy and performance out of your tires”
Most drivers do not take proper care of the tires and therefore has an effect on their vehicle safety as well as gas inefficiency. “Properly inflated tires promote safety, help tires last longer, and maximize fuel efficiency.”
Over the summer, gas prices are expected to rise, so increasing the fuel efficiency of your vehicle might just be enough motivation for you to regularly check your tires. In the article it explains that your gas mileage can improve by 3.3% if you keep your tires at the appropriate levels. Another statistic to consider is that 3.56 MILLION gallons of gas are wasted every day because of incorrectly-inflated tires. That is a lot of extra money out of your pocket that is being wasted.
So what are you going to do this summer? Check the air pressure in your tires to increase fuel and safety efficiency OR let the gas prices take an even bigger toll on your budget?

Whoa there, Jared. You've got your economics backwards. If the demand for a product goes down (i.e., shifts to the left), then the price of the product will fall, not rise as you indicate. I think you're confusing a shift of the curve with a movement along the curve.
